Review: "Indigenous and other marginalized populations worldwide experience significant health inequalities - life expectancies reduced by decades, elevated rates of chronic disease, neonatal, mortality, accidental death, infectious disease, and suicide. Australia is one of the healthiest countries in the world with one of the most dramatic examples of social inequalities in health. Hard Yakka: Transforming Indigenous Health Policy and Politics examines these inequalities through a critical study of Australian health bureaucracy. The author, medical anthropologist Nili Kaplan-Myrth, discusses and evaluates processes and institutional structures that influence relationships between Indigenous communities and government in the development, implementation, and evaluation of health policy."--BOOK JACKET.
